The decision was signed off by Congress President Rahul Gandhi through video conference last night.
JDS leader Danish Ali told media that “We have held five rounds of talks with each other and have decided that the JD(S) will get the Finance portfolio. I will be now travelling to Bengaluru to hold further talks within our party.”
